Natural Orbit is a multi-dimensional sound project that lies somewhere between a music duo and a listening room concept.
Their ongoing listening room series integrates audio technology from around the world and highlights record selections from the deep corners of their catalogs, often presented in unique, intimate settings. The project draws influence from sound system culture, listening bars/jazz kissas, mastering studios of the 1960s and iconic dance floors around the world.
As a music duo, their selections pull influence from traditional dub to leftfield electronic interpretations, often bouncing between traditional dance grooves and more avant-garde stylings. Their sets are guided by texture and feeling, blurring genres and placing emphasis on mindful listening and the joy of sharing records.
For this festival appearance, the duo gives a nod towards dub, not just as a genre but as a philosophy of sound. Emerging from reggae, dub strips music to its core elements and rebuilds it through space, echo, and bass, using the studio itself as an instrument. Bringing a crate full of records highlighting the vast influence of dub, Natural Orbit’s Groovewell Vacation set will explore the full spectrum of the style’s lineage, from foundational roots to more abstract and textural interpretations, highlighting its hypnotic rhythms and immersive low-end frequencies. Expect a spacious, transcendent session where delays stretch into infinity and basslines anchor the room. One for the heads, the dub siren enthusiasts and of course, the friends of the orbit.
